When they realized that he was the father, they left “shouting like hell and firing their machine guns” and went to the apartment in front (No. 3), where Washington Javier Barrios lived.44 Members of the Joint Forces broke down the door opening to the patio opposite the apartment. From there, they fired directly at the closed door of the apartment where the three women were staying.45 56. A neighbor of Silvia Reyes informed that: “the gunshots continued for around 5 or 7 minutes, or 10, until they stopped shooting and then the soldiers started shouting, and the girls screaming that they mustn’t shoot, mustn’t kill them, after which there was a burst of machine gun fire that made my walls shake, and then the shooting stopped completely.”46 57. According to the criminal complaint, after the gunshots at Apartment N° 3, members of the Joint Forces approached the mother of Washington Javier Barrios and asked her “where is your son as I am personally going to kill him.”47 The complaint mentioned that, on that same day, several Army trucks with soldiers arrived at the apartment and made off with all the furniture.48 58.
